Every single build I have conjured up always have 8+1 spear or more even if I dont use spear skills? Am I doing it wrong or shoudl I just use 0+1 spear mastery always if running pure support?

Need advice for my heros' sake since I don't have a paragon in PvE or PvP (it's actually the only profession I don't have in PvE/PvP...).

I guess I'm used to sword/axe/bow in that I always bring at least 8+1 of the attribute to wear the collectors weapons.

On the contrary, I guess I will get some extra candy spears for my heros and get 0+1 spear mastery...

Treat the spear like a wand - only add the req if you want what the requirement effects. In this case, damage so I wouldn't use it.

The problem with the candy cane spears is that they are unmodable. Some of the mods are useful: +energy, furious, +enchant, +health, and +armor come to mind. I especially find the +energy and health/armor mods useful.

edit: you may also look at a vitae or attunement rune instead of the minor spear. while +10 health or +2 energy isn't terribly useful, 0+1 in an attribute you do not use is worthless.

i would take one of the condition runes in place of 10 health....

and yes...if your not using the spear its just for adren/interupts if daze ... so you would do well to pump up your other atts.
